A New Haven man was stabbed in the chest and neck during fight with another man at a soup kitchen, police say

NEW HAVEN — A man was stabbed twice when an argument he was having with another man in a soup kitchen Thursday afternoon turned violent, according to police.

The victim, 38-year-old Carlos Marrero, of New Haven, was initially involved in a fist fight with his assailant at Community Soup Kitchen at 84 Broadway, before sustaining stab wounds to the chest and neck, police said in a press release.

Responding to a description sent out over police frequencies, Yale University police officers stopped Quan McCloud, an apparently homeless man identified by witnesses as Marrero's assailant, as he walked past the Yale police station. He is charged with first-degree assault and is being interviewed by detectives at the New Haven police department.
